The Courage to Fight Gun Violence

Last updated October 16, 2017.

At Giffords Law Center we envision a safer America, where our children grow up without fear of gun violence. This isn’t a utopian dream—it’s something we can build in this generation. In fact, in states all around the country, we’ve helped write, pass, and enact legislation that is reducing gun violence and saving lives.

In 2016, the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence formally partnered with Americans for Responsible Solutions, led by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, retired NASA astronaut and Navy combat veteran Captain Mark Kelly, to form a new force for gun safety that stretches from coast to coast.

Now, we’ve united our organizations to form Giffords, to represent Americans from all walks of life in the fight against gun violence. Standing up to the gun lobby takes courage, and our advocates and legal experts are committed to seeing an end to this public health crisis that tears communities apart.
